Scholarships for International Students at St. Lawrence

Thinking about applying to St. Lawrence as an international student. Does anyone have information on scholarships available? I'm curious how generous these scholarships are and if they can cover most of the tuition.

St. Lawrence University indeed offers a number of scholarships for international students. First off, there's the International Scholarships which are need-based scholarships, and the amount awarded varies depending on the individual financial circumstances of each student.

There are also merit-based scholarships available, too. The school provides awards based on academic achievements, leadership potential, and other special talents. As an example, the Presidential Diversity Scholarships are one category of merit-based scholarships which St. Lawrence provides. These are particularly designed for exceptional students who contribute to the diversity of the student body, so it can cover a range of international backgrounds.

However, the exact percentage of tuition that these scholarships can cover may vary greatly from student to student and depend heavily on your application, academic profile, and demonstrated need or merit. You would need to apply and receive the decision from the university to know for sure what amount you may be awarded.

Importantly, remember to apply for these scholarships as early as you can, since many are awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. You would apply for the scholarships when you submit your application for admission to the university. After you apply, the admissions office and financial aid office will do their best to craft a financial aid package that makes St. Lawrence financially feasible for you.

Keep in mind that your best source of information will be St. Lawrence's Office of Financial Aid. They can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information about the scholarships available to international students. Don't be shy about reaching out for more specific information tailored to your individual situation. Good luck with your application, it's great to see such a proactive approach!
